After 18 days of the new trial drug, dad is doing really good! He went in for a check-up on Friday and they said everything looks good! His white blood cells were good, his platelets went up all on their own and his liver and kidney function were doing well and he is only using one liter of oxygen. Other than the lung infection, which the infectious disease doctors are still studying, he is doing great! Mom gives him an IV to treat the infection every night and is still the best nurse he could ever have, she believes that she works for a great doctor up above and the 3 Nephites as her guardian angels helping her in whatever tasks she has to do. What an amazing couple she and dad make. Mom says that when she looks at him, she still see's the handsome young marine that she fell in love with a long time ago:)
Dad is still managing to ride his bike 10 miles every day and inspires all of us to live life to the fullest and not to give up!
We love you pop and are grateful for everyday that we have with you and hope and pray that it's not only days, or months but years and years!
What a handsome man and beautiful woman. Keep up the fight big brother. My thoughts and prayers are with you continually.
